PAUL CAREY JONES
“Paul Carey Jones and Hannah Pedley sang superbly and acted convincingly as smooth Sam and desperate Dinah...They must both have great futures in store.” Sam: Trouble in Tahiti / Second Movement / The Observer “Paul Carey Jones puts in a stunning performance as Mohammed.” Mohammed: Manifest Destiny / Edinburgh Fringe / Metro “Paul Carey Jones made a smooth Malatesta, with an incisive baritone...” Malatesta: Don Pasquale / Bel Canto Opera / Opera “A large and hard-working cast offered pretty faultless support, in particular Paul Carey Jones displaying swagger and voice-to-match as Eurymaque.” Eurymaque: Pénélope / Wexford Festival Opera / Opera Now “All three (Sean Clayton, Paul Carey Jones and Andrew Slater) demonstrate that they are singer-actors of the highest stature and masters of diction: in short, first-rate artists.“ Sandy: The Lighthouse / Montepulciano Festival / Drammaturgia “...most of the acting and singing honours go to the opera's peripheral couple. Stephanie Corley lights up the stage as an outrageously saucy Musetta, matched by Paul Carey Jones' fiery, possessive Marcello.” Marcello: La bohème / Scottish Opera On Tour / The Guardian “The star of the show was Paul Carey Jones as John Styx, singing through the lines quite beautifully, and underplaying the comedy almost entirely through the eyes – absolutely hilarious.” John Styx: Orpheus in the Underworld / British Youth Opera / Opera “...Kate Royal, already a lyric soprano of rich timbre and dramatic command. Equalling her in maturity is Paul Carey Jones, a Welsh baritone of striking vocal achievement and an effective stage performer. This is a beefy, wide-ranging instrument, and he has presence to spare. All being well they look set to become significant players on the operatic scene.” Zurga: Les Pêcheurs des Perles / National Opera Studio Showcase / The Stage “...Paul Carey Jones is an ebullient Fiorello...” Fiorello: Il barbiere di Siviglia / Scottish Opera / The Daily Telegraph “Paul Carey Jones is a mobile Fiorello.” Fiorello: Il barbiere di Siviglia / Scottish Opera / The Independent “His voice is well focused and easily produced, with a free and full upper range...Variety is found in colour, word-painting intensity...For a straightforward outpouring of rich golden tone listen to Schubert’s Pax Vobiscum, D551, in which the contours of the tune are closely embraced.” ENAID / Sain CD / International Record Review “Paul Carey Jones has the sort of voice I could listen to all day, and his diction and timing are exemplary.” ENAID / Sain CD / Musical Pointers |
